reveals new tool to keep business AI apps safe Cisco AI Defense looks to 
address risks in developing and deploying secure AI applications AI Defense 
is self-optimizing and will improve over time, Cisco says 

Cisco has unveiled a new solution aimed at helping businesses build, deploy, 
and secure, Artificial Intelligence-powered (AI) applications. 

The company says Cisco AI Defense addresses two key risks - developing, and 
deploying, secure AI applications . 

According to Cisco, enterprises are set to develop hundreds, if not thousands 
of AI applications. They cannot afford separate sets of AI security and 
safety guardrails for each app - they need a unified approach. Multiple 
capabilities 

Cisco says AI Defenses capabilities include discovering AI (giving security 
teams insight into who is building applications, and which training sources 
they use), model validation (minimizing the risk of model tuning turning 
toxic through automated testing), runtime security (continuous validation 
which safeguards against potential safety and security threats such as prompt 
injection), and securing access to AI applications. 

The company says AI Defense is self-optimizing, delivering controls for a 
multi-model world. Furthermore, it integrates with existing data flows, and 
is built into Security Cloud, Ciscos cross-domain security platform. 

The new tool will become available to enterprises in March 2025. 

"Business and technology leaders cant afford to sacrifice safety for speed 
when embracing AI, said Jeetu Patel, Executive Vice President and Chief 
Product Officer, Cisco. "In a dynamic landscape where competition is fierce, 
speed decides the winners. Fused into the fabric of the network, Cisco AI 
Defense combines the unique ability to detect and protect against threats 
when developing and accessing AI applications without tradeoffs. You might
